She was the one who was helping Nora Aunor get her green card when she was imprisoned due to drug charges. The criminal case caused a setback for Ate Guy but she was still able to get her green card. In its new season, “Pusong Pinoy” will feature hard working immigrants and unsung heroes who effectiveloy balance work and family through the segment titled “Sipag at Tagumpay”. There are dramatized portions showing the struggles of the Pahati and Morales families who are motivated by strong family values. There’s also an “Iba ang Pinoy” segment featuring Pinoy achievers in the U.S. like Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil Sakauye, journalist Ben Pimentel and entrepreneurs Gil Payumo and Evan Kidera. “Visa 101” shows how a Filipino child can be adopted by couples who are U.S. citizens. GMA International VP and Head of Operations Joseph Francia says they’re very happy with the huge success of “Pusong Pinoy”. “It enjoys loyal viewership among our kababayans living abroad,” he says. “More Filipinos will surely be inspired by the new stories we’ll be featuring in its new season shown every Sunday at 6:10 PM on GMA Pinoy TV.”
